I'm glad we're on the same page on that. The only incorruptible economic model or form of government is one where the human element is not in control. Sadly unless we build an AI that is able to monitor and dish out justice like an adult does to a bunch of 5 year old kids playing in a sandbox, we can expect more of the same. Honestly, it's a depressing thought to think that we are so susceptible to corruption that we literally need a more intelligent life form to babysit us and to make sure we don't fuck ourselves out of existence. That is of course given the very optimistic notion that the AI we do create, if ever, will be of the friendly variety.
I don't think we can (at our current level of intelligence) come up with anything even remotely resembling a "Utopia" :D The closest thing to a utopia (at least after death) is religion, and look at the mess that created.

We all could use an utopia, but who's?
